Edit- this is apparently a joke and a movie reference of some kind?

What is this, the Draft Day movie?
Can’t decide if that’s a true story or some weird Draft Day joke
From an Athletic article:
DC 1: “I think he’s really good. He’s a 6-4, 250 guy, but his movement ability is elite. He can really bend. He’s not as powerful or long Brian Burns, but he’s got that same kind of bend. At the Senior Bowl, they didn’t block him the whole week.”

On Iowa State edge Will McDonald
DL coach 1: “He played as a true 5-technique and balled out, and then they isolated him on guards and he wasn’t scared to go in. He’s probably the most twitchy guy in the whole D-line group. You can’t teach that kind of bend. He’s very much like Haason Reddick and Brian Burns.”DC 1: “I think he’s really good. He’s a 6-4, 250 guy, but his movement ability is elite. He can really bend. He’s not as powerful or long Brian Burns, but he’s got that same kind of bend. At the Senior Bowl, they didn’t block him the whole week.”

I want this to be a real thing. Hilarious. Maybe if you assume you won't be available you grab the cash and go to dinner because it won't matter but otherwise, such an obvious trap.
Well just like "A broke clock is correct twice a day" possibly Mel Kiper Jr. will get this one correct.
Not a true story. Is a weird Draft Day joke. But lots of people who don't know that and see the tweet will now think LVN is a thief. Hilarious.
ESPN had all their team reporters do a Mock Draft tonight. The Cowboys reporter picked Will at #26.
Ya that would be a pretty stupid character test when you're talking about millions to these guys.
The original tweet came from a Hawkeye fan and it was shared on a Hawkeye fan page, so initially, I did take it as a real thing . I added a clarification to my original post.
Aha, there it is, finally.
It’s well known Mahomes sits in on every interview, and Will chose to wear his “66-10” shirt.
When the draft is over I hope you are honest and come back and let us know if the team you heard this from actually drafted him or not.
I heard Van Ness's own teammates didn't even go to his birthday party.
Keep in mind, he could have gotten the info from a legit source and that source was telling him a bunch of BS. A team could be saying this to scare off others (which actually makes a lot of sense because we haven't heard an ounce of any character issues with Will in the past). The Colts GM pretty much said everybody is lying so they can gain any advantage.
I posted a few posts later with the team who said that.. so I can come forward now and say the chiefs will not be drafting him. ..and I hope his interviews went better with other teams than it did with the chiefs
Why would there be a “66-10” shirt? And why would Will wear that? He wasn’t on the team and would’ve been a sophomore in high school.
